Sermon Tone Analysis

What is a Parable?

Parable - is a story that is intended to illustrate an attitude or principle.

Jesus spoke in Parables to answer questions

He says TO YOU it has been given to know the secrets of the kingdom of heaven.

He speaks to them this way so they will listen to not just the story but to the real meaning.

So let’s break it down.

Plant the Seed

How often do we say that?

I Planted the seed, I did my job right.

But what does Christ say later on.

When anyone hears the word of the kingdom and does not understand it.

Hearing and Understanding are two different things!

I can go out to the strip and preach the Gospel each and every day right.

But this says that anyone your hears the word and does not understand means nothing.

If I talk above your heads and I stand up here and say The WORD OF GOD SAYS THIS NO GO AND DO IT.

But if you don’t Understand it how will you be able to follow and do what God Ask of us.

(Doug and the chairs)

Let’s continue in this parable:

They had nothing to keep giving them water so they died.

(Sunday Card)

Going to church on Sundays doesnt get you to Heaven.

You can sit here, you can pull out that Sunday Card, you lift your hands in Worship and follow all the motions of being a Christian but if you are not rooted in the Word how will you be able to succeed in the World.

It doesn’t say in this Bible, Book of Hall 12:1 that Erich will be happy for the rest of his life and no one will persecute him for being a Christian, nothing bad will ever happen to him again until the day he joins Me in Paradise.

Earth

This is going to tell you everything that is going to happen in your life but it will help you overcome the tribulation and persecution that arises on account of the World.

Let’s continue:

Ok Sunday Card again.

How can you be Fruitful if you continue following the ways of the World?

Ask yourself this question.

Take you and put I

How can I be Fruitful if I continue following the ways of the World?

Nothing in this world will go with you.

Don’t let it choke your Spirit and let it get you down.

Too often we do this.

We don’t give it to God and let him handle it.

We want to handle it, and we handle it through money, drinking, gambling, or ways of the World.

If something bad happens to you, stop blaming God for it.

God has never left, He is just waiting for you to come around!

God HAS NEVER LEFT!

I can not stress this enough.

Put your pride aside and ask God for help.

He isn’t going to throw your past in your face.

Still with me?

Explanation:

When this church was only at 20 people, we sat here and said where is everyone.

Let me tell you Everyone was that God wanted to be here.

We are now between 50-60 people on Sunday Morning, it’s not my doing for this.

This is God.

When this church had over 150 people on Sunday Morning, that wasn’t Pastor Ron’s doing that was God’s doing.

Why?

Because we heard the Word, we understand that nothing happens without God.

He is LORD OF ALL.

Instead of when something good happens, stop saying look what I did but say Look what God did in my life.

I talk about it all the time, I screw up.

I’m Part of S.U.A.

Screw Ups Anonymous

Hi, my name is (insert name) and I’m a screw up.

But God loves me for who I am and wouldn’t change a single thing.

I believe that God exists, and that He is Lord of All and there is nothing that can tell me any different.

Final Thought:

Which one are you?

Fallen along the path, Rocky Ground with no Root, Thorns choking you, or producing grain?
